Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. MEN ON BOATS  is the true(ish) history of an 1869 expedition, when a one-armed captain and a crew of unique yet loyal volunteers set out to map the course of the Colorado River. 
This ensemble driven show pairs modern dialogue with physical comedy and real drama to tell the story of exploration, determination, and legacy. 

Note on Casting from the Playwright: The characters in MEN ON BOATS were historically cisgender white males. The cast should be made up entirely of people who are not. I’m talking about racially diverse actors who are female-identifying, trans-identifying, genderfluid, and/or non-gender-conforming. It is my strong preference that Tsauwiat and The Bishop (so thusly O.G. and Seneca Howland) be played by Native cast members. If there are no Native actors in your production, the Howlands/Utes must at least be cast as non-white.
